Combine commercial solar power with EV charging integration to make greater use of renewable electricity generated at your premises. INVO Solar Solutions can integrate commercial EV charging infrastructure with solar PV systems, creating a coordinated energy solution for businesses introducing electric vehicles to their operations. 

Effective solar EV charging requires more than simply connecting EV chargers to a property with solar panels. The system needs to account for the site’s existing electrical infrastructure, available capacity, solar generation and expected vehicle charging demand. Our team can assess these requirements and develop an appropriate approach to EV charging with solar panels for your premises. 

Whether you require workplace EV charging for employees and visitors or charging infrastructure to support an electric fleet, integration with commercial solar PV can help increase the amount of renewable electricity used on site. Solutions can be designed around current requirements while considering how charging demand may develop as your organisation’s use of electric vehicles grows.

FAQs 

Can EV chargers be powered by solar panels? 

Yes. EV chargers can be integrated with a solar PV installation so that solar-generated electricity contributes towards vehicle charging when generation is available. The amount supplied by solar will vary according to generation, charging demand and other electricity being used on site. 

How does solar EV charging work? 

Solar panels generate electricity that can be used across the premises, including by connected EV charging equipment. A properly planned system considers when solar electricity is generated, how much power the site consumes and the charging requirements of the vehicles. 

Can you install EV charging for workplaces? 

EV charging infrastructure can be designed for workplace environments, including charging provision for employees, visitors and business vehicles. The appropriate solution will depend on factors such as vehicle numbers, expected charging patterns and the site’s electrical capacity. 

Can EV charging be added to an existing commercial solar PV system? 

Potentially, yes. The existing solar PV system and electrical infrastructure first need to be assessed to establish available capacity and determine the most appropriate way to integrate EV charging.
